Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 3 public exploits for CVE-2026-22794. PoCs published by MalikHamza7, exploitChains, XZ1r0.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This repository contains a functional PoC exploit for CVE-2026-22794, which leverages Origin header injection in Appsmith to hijack password reset tokens and achieve full account takeover. The exploit includes both client-side attack execution and server-side token capture capabilities.

Description

Appsmith is a platform to build admin panels, internal tools, and dashboards. Prior to 1.93, the server uses the Origin value from the request headers as the email link baseUrl without validation. If an attacker controls the Origin, password reset / email verification links in emails can be generated pointing to the attacker’s domain, causing authentication tokens to be exposed and potentially leading to account takeover. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.93.
